Brigade's global service delivery model provides clients with an opportunity to capture the competitive advantage of global labor markets to dramatically improve business processes while delivering them at substantially lower costs.

Outsourcing is a strategic choice for organizations looking to free their resources and focus on strategy, processes improvements, and cost efficiencies.

Leading global business intelligence and consultancy firms such as Giga, Forrester Research and McKinsey and Co. have cited various reasons for the increase of offshore outsourcing by all kinds of organizations to India, the preferred destination for such outsourcing.

The primary mission of the brigade is to deploy on short notice and destroy, capture, or repel enemy forces, using maneuver and shock effect.

Brigade Combat Team under construction at Fort Knox (Army News Service, Jan. 5, 2000) One of the unique features of the Brigade Combat Team is a Reconnaissance, Surveillance and Target Acquisition, or RSTA Squadron.

The Abraham Lincoln Brigade was an organization of United States volunteers supporting or fighting for the anti-fascist Spanish Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War as part of the International Brigade.

The name "brigade" is something of a misnomer, as there were several American battalions organized under the Fifteenth International Brigade of the Spanish Republican army.

The International Brigade was withdrawn from battle by the Spanish prime minister in spring of 1938.

The Charge of the Light Brigade was an ill-advised cavalry charge, led by Lord Cardigan, which occurred during the Battle of Balaclava on October 25, 1854 during the Crimean War.

The charge was made by the Light Brigade of the British cavalry, consisting of the 4th and 13th Light Dragoons, 17th Lancers, and the 8th and 11th Hussars, under the command of MajorGeneral the Earl of Cardigan.

Together with the Heavy Brigade comprising the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, the 5th Dragoon Guards, the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons and the Scots Greys, commanded by MajorGeneral J Yorke-Scarlett, himself a past Commanding Officer of the 5th Dragoon Guards, these units were the main British cavalry force at the battle.

The Roman fire brigade (Vigiles) was formed in AD 6 by Augustus to combat fires using bucket brigades and pumps, as well as poles, hooks and even ballistae to tear down buildings in advance of the flames.

German fire brigades (Feuerwehr) are organized on a town/village basis, with each town having at least one brigade.

The fire brigades in England are organised on a county basis, with each post-1974 county having its own brigade.

The Turkish brigades, between the dates of November 1950 and July 1953, have fought the following battles the Kunuri diversion; the Kumyangjangni-Illi-431-639 -Imjin attacks; 22/23 April 1951; the Chorwon-Seoul diversion; the Taegyewonni defense; the Barhar-Kumhwa-701 attacks; and the Wegas defense battles.

The Turkish Brigade had succeeded to provide the necessary time and space for the withdrawal by preventing the encirclement of the Eighth Army and the IXth ArmyCorps and the destruction of the 2nd US Division, through the battles it fought on the dates of 27-30 November.

The Brigade was proud to have informed the country of the news of success which the state and nation expected, at the highest level.

Abul Waleed, the brigade's commander, is held to be the brains behind a popular Iraqi TV programme in which suspected militants are made to "confess" to the camera.

Formally, the brigade is a special forces unit of the new interior ministry, led by former officers of Saddam Hussein's army, who were brought back into the new security forces because of their military experience.

According to the interview, the brigade was set up in October 2004 and members were trained by US forces for nearly two months before their first major operation, in the restive northern city of Mosul.

The MPs of the 15th Brigade are in close daily contact with the people of other nations, and so the maintenance of co-operation and respect between the military police and the foreign public has become an important facet of the brigade's mission.

The brigade, as it was activated in June of 1965, consisted of two MP Groups, the 2d and the 14th.

Perhaps the most important psychological achievement of the brigade in 1966 was the adoption of the unit patch, "the Griffin." The patch was approved by the Institute of Heraldry in April 1966, and shortly thereafter the patches became available for all the men of the brigade.

On the Thursday morning previous, December 11, at 7 o’clock precisely, the brigade left the camp from which this report is dated, and proceeded toward the pontoon bridge over the Rappahannock, which it was arranged the division should cross.

Advancing up the street, at the front of which the right of the brigade in line had rested, and worried by shell and shot and rifle balls every step we took, we crossed, the mill-race immediately outside of the city, which water course may be described as the first defense of the enemy.

In this street the hospitals of the brigade had been established, and to it, consequently, all the officers and men of the brigade instinctively returned.

The Givati brigade was one of sixbrigades which were formed in December 1948.

The Givati brigade's role in the operation was the capture of the areas of Hulikat, Kawkaba, and the junction that is known today as Givati Junction.

In the summer of 1956, the regular brigade was disbanded, and the name of "Givati" was transferred to the 17th brigade, which operated under that name in the Sinai Campaign (1956) and in the Six Day War (1967) in the Central Command.

To the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, which fought from 1937 through 1938, the defense of the Republic represented the last hope of stopping the spread of international fascism.

("Lincoln Brigade" is a misnomer originating with an American support organization, Friends of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade.) One hundred twenty-five American men and women also served with the American Medical Bureau as nurses, doctors, technicians, and ambulance drivers.

The conviction that made volunteering for a war against fascism possible was born from the economic calamity and political turmoil of the 1930s.

The first two initial brigade combat teams (IBCT's) of the interim force are being created at Fort Lewis, Washington, by reorganizing the 3d Brigade, 2d InfantryDivision, and then the 1stBrigade, 25th InfantryDivision (Light Infantry).

To achieve a rapid deployment threshold, the brigade's design capitalizes on the widespread use of common vehicular platforms-particularly a highly mobile, medium-weight, combat/CS platform coupled with the minimization of the personnel and logistical footprint on theater.

The Iron Brigade advanced through Miller's Farm with the 2nd and 6th on the left and the 19th Indiana on the extreme right.

On a foggy December 13, the Iron Brigade turned and crossed Bowling Green Road, heading for the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac R.R. line and were chewed up quite a bit by the Confederates who were dug-in in the woods on the other side.

When General Hooker finally decided to withdraw, the Iron Brigade was again rear guard as they marched back to the river on May 6 at 3:30 in the morning.
